That's about 5 Medicals he's had now, just wondering if this is a smokescreen.

We should know today whether the "Phillips trying to force a move to Villa" story is true or not. If the club announce Nakamba, they would'nt want Phillips as well, would they?

Would prefer us to go for Jean Philippe Mateta from Mainz  to Maupay personally if we are gunna get a young french striker. Obligatory YouTube video .

 

Jean-Paul Boetius puts most of them on a plate for him, though.

That it is.

Another South West Villain too !!

Yes, moved from Brum 3 years ago, so will largely be relying on Media for matches. Might get the chance to go, if the son-in-law gives me his season ticket occasionally.

I've been keeping my eye on you guys on VT for years but hiding in the shadows.

All the excitement convinced me to dust off the keys & get typing.... well that & the shock of a Wednesday signing!!

I'm a newbie as well, mate. Exciting times innit?

He is yes but if he stays fit, he will score goals, Smith will get the best out of him 

He'll never be off the treatment table.

And Hause is pretty good at a couple of things Mings isn't brilliant at, like (surprisingly perhaps) aerial duels. 

I think Hause is underrated personally. 

I agree, and he looked pretty sharp against Minnesota.

Seems very likely that Maupay is off now and it looks like Brighton or Villa being favourites.

I would say we are the favourites, then, He wants to link up with Dean Smith again.

Can you please sign now?

 

Lovely pad, but them gates look a bit high.

Hasn't been mentioned but I thought he was great last night, right up there with the best performers in the first half and (as he should have) looked a cut above the players he was up against. If he were a brand new signing as opposed to a returning player there'd probably be a bit more furore about it.

Would have to agree with you there, but i d'ont think he will get the playing time he deserves.

Did Purslow drop a hint about Maupay / Benrahma? He said we are looking at players that have played for DS before

He also said that we want 2 players for each position, so does that mean 2 x DCM, I X ST and 1 x RW?

Douglas Luis tomorrow in the new away kit?

That would be a nice team indeed to kick our season off with. Promising and exciting.

Would prefer Maupay to Trezeguet.

When you look at what’s being quoted for Maquire and even lewis Dunk yes it’s a bargain remember we couldn’t ask for more as it was in his release clause.Im happy as we have brought in 2 brutes in Pinnock and Jansson to firm up our soft under belly 

Same thing happened with us and Delph, a few seasons ago.

I just think that will be an awful lot of money for a position where we have cover. Cahill isn’t right for the direction we are looking to go in. We need a DM, pretty urgently I’d say. Perhaps someone that can cover another position as well - such as CB. 

Got to be Phillips, then

Would rather we went for Butland, if i'm honest, but 25m is a lot to splurge on a keeper.

I suspect this is true. He probably knows that he's capable of greater things, but he's emotionally attached to his local team, and will compromise by giving them another year and going for one last shot at promotion. 

I would imagine a 1000% pay rise will ease his emotional ties. The 20 mill + transfer fee will ease Leeds FFP worries.

We lived in Aston,Dad walked me through Aston Park to the ground in 1955. D'ont remember much of the match, but from then on, i was hooked.Live in the south west now and can't get to the games, but watch on tv,sky etc.Would enjoy being able to comment occasionally.
